Rumored/Confirmed Coachella Artists Start to Trickle In

LAist has about 20 artists they say are "confirmed" for Coachella (coming up soon! April 17-19!), and many more that are "rumored"--and given that just about every act of note is "rumored" for Coachella at this point in the year, a classification that's about as meaningful as last night's Golden Globes (though any night when Tracy Morgan and Bruce Springsteen both get to give acceptance speeches is pretty awesome).

None
of these names are shocking whatsoever; Fleet Foxes at Coachella in
2009 is a bona fide no-brainer. It really shows how much Coachella
spoils people when you see a list like that and you're just like, "Oh,
OK." I'd like to confirm right now that I won't be seeing The Airborne
Toxic Event if they are in fact there. Thought you'd like to know.

Uh, OK. Can we just throw anyone in there? Red Hot Chili Peppers--again? Morrissey AND The Smiths? Outkast? Britney Spears?
(Well, she does have a day off between Staples Center and Honda Center
shows that Saturday...) But is this a rumored list or just a bunch of
random names? A lot of these, like Glasvegas, are good bets, but some
of these are stretches worthy of Reed Richards himself.

We'll
know for sure soon enough, until then I'm going to try and start a
"Stone Roses reunite at Coachella but with Joe Jonas in place of Ian
Brown" rumor. "Try and start" should be read as "secretly wish were true."
